Spectacular! Amazing! Fabulous! Magical! Unforgettable! These are just some of the beautiful words that we could use to describe how we felt during the very magnificent night of February 9, 2007 when we were inside the luxurious 4-star hotel, Waterfront Hotel and Casiono Lahug, celebrating our Promenade, eventually the last promenade for us, the Seniors, who will soon be leaving with wonderful memories, the school which had been part of our lives.
Dashing ladies and awesome gentlemen could be seen around the lounge area of Arctic 1 & 2, feeling so excited upon pondering how the night would be. Of course, the very exquisite gowns and coats made us look like superstars in Hollywood, joining a prestigious award-giving ceremony. The make-ups, hair designs, stilettos and ties enhanced everyone’s looks. Others beauty really flaunted and seriously speaking, there were so many “aha!” moments that took place.
For us, seniors, and for me as well, I would really like this night to be very memorable and unforgettable. Fortunately, despite the fact that I just looked for my gown 2 days before the prom, my night was indeed a night to remember.
Since I don’t want to spend so much on my gown and my other stuffs, I just let Madam Nuñeza to do my hair and make-up because she was also the one who took charge on how I will look during the muse thingy during the Intramurals of 2004. Of course, I rode on a cab going to our venue and really thought that I would be late. I was amaze when I saw that there only a few of us who were still there right that very moment! I was so shocked when in saw my batch mates and how they looked because they really looked gorgeous on their gowns and coats. Right that very moment, picture taking here and there and everywhere took place. Of course, we would pose here and there and smile everywhere too!
When the signal to line up was called, I went out and sat on the sofa at the lounge. There I saw the Science High students who were also in their prom beside our function room. I saw some friends there and eventually got pissed off by others. Since I have the family name of Yee, and the sequence to ramp on the isle is by alphabetical order of the seniors and boys first, I obviously ended up as the last person to walk down the red carpet with my escort. It felt so good to be the last because there’s actually an advantage, the moment we went down the stairs, everyone clapped their hands on us, and we savored every moment of it.
The program went on, the eating part was all we waited for, and fortunately, my hunger was well satisfied. I really ate a lot because I was so hungry, but of course, on a very feminine way. I was escorted no matter where I go, even when I got to the comfort room.
After eating, the Prophecy took place and of course, the bequeathing of our Legacies was next. I was so tensed yet so excited because we only finalized the actions the day before the prom. Also, the limelight was really on us, so I’m so conscious of my actions. Luckily, we have performed it well and I have delivered my speech perfectly too. So, the Juniors also gave us a tribute song, and their cd was really cute!
The moment that we all been waiting for came, the disco!!! This was my very first time experience that I enjoyed the disco part so much! I went on dancing with my friends. We even lied down on the carpet. Why we did that? I don’t know but the happiness it brought was unexplainable. We kept on dancing until we get dehydrated. What added the fun was the fact that even the teachers, they also danced and danced until they dropped! It was so fun to look at during the students versus teachers dance showdown! It was my first time to see them so active and so participative!
Everyone really danced and danced not until the declaration for the last song was announced. It was a sweet song, and I don’t know who I would spend my last dance with. So, we formed the singles group where we formed a circle at the middle and danced together in the tune of “Your Love”. Earlier during the dance part, I and my clique also formed a circle and we had a group dance, our arms on each others’ shoulders. Those final moments were very touching.
I could say that there was a part of the prom where I hoped for something to happen as a sign, unfortunately, it did not happen en it hurt me so bad that when Euvic hugged me, I just broke down and cried. Good thing that my friends were there to comfort me. I could really feel my heart being torn apart. When I was relieved, we went out of the hall and stayed for quite some time there. I just acted like nothing happened, but eventually others noticed. So, every time that they would ask me what happened to me and why my eyes looked so wet, I would just answer them that my feet really hurt.
The night was a very promising night. I made so many realizations and it has been my turning point to some facts in my life. No regrets about anything that happened because I know that everything happens for a reason. Though tears flowed out from my eyes, my smiles shed everything I felt.
